I have a 1 month old xc60. Recently the BLIS indicator on the passenger side has been coming on with increasing frequency when there is no car present. I have checked the camera and the lens is clean. Has anyone had this problem? Is there anyway to calibrate and/or change the sensitivity?

I have the same problem on a Right Hand Drive XC60 in Australia, less than 1 month old. BLIS on drivers side comes on sporadically for no reason but it works perfectly at night. The other side is fine day and night. I'm due for my 1000km service soon and have already reported it to the dealer. SO we'll see if the sensitivity can be adjusted or it needs replacement or new software.

Accdg to the manual, the BLIS may come on depending on the weather as well. It could come on for example at night when there is a flash of light (not necessarily coming a car, could be a flood light from a building or structure). It could also be during the day when sunlight directly hits the lens of the BLIS. The ones I've indicated have all affected the BLIS causing it to turn on. Although mine does not turn on for no reason other than the possible causes above.

I had BLIS problems too when I first got my car. I cleaned the lenses with Qtips and it did not help. I figured out that I had washed my car at a high-pressure car wash and water got inside the lenses. When they dried out (about a month later) all has been well since.

Grrr ... I am having the same problem with my XC60! It's been at the dealer for 2 days. The BLIS worked great and has been on almost 90% of the time for the past 3 weeks, The dealer called Volvo and was told that the system is designed to be over sensitive and that this is normal. I don't believe that is true because I didn't have these issues for the first two months. I find it so distracting that I turn the BLIS off. What a waste of 600 bucks. I think I am going to have them replace it and see if that helps ... The left side works fine

Has anyone gotten any results on fixing the bliss issue? I have a 1 month old XC60 and it only works sometimes. Dealer has no idea of what to do to fix it.

I have 2012 xc60 for a year and I found out that when I am driving in the rain, dashboard sometimes show "BLIS camera blocked" and blis keeps flashing. One day I found out that when I turned on rear defrost, this message didn't show up. Now whenever I am driving in the rain or snow, I always turn on rear defrost. I think activating rear defrost also heat up blis lens which prevents moisture from blocking blis lens.

I hope this trick is useful to everyone. Please try it out. Just activate rear defrost when driving in the rain or snow.

rear defrost button is the button above re-circulation.

I read that Bliss uses different types of imaging depending on the amount of ambient light. During dusk or times when the ambient light changes Bliss will change imaging modes. I have seen this during dusk, dawn and weather changes. During the change the Bliss light will illuminate for a minute or two until the ambient light is consistent.
